Station and City Hall (Nelson)
Pam Nelson, Community Services Director, reviewed the base bid and the
alternates, which include landscaping improvements at city hall and a nearby --
median, and irrigation at Office Creek Pump Station around the ground storage
tanks. It was noted this is needed for the structural integrity of the foundation of
the tanks during dry weather. The Office Creek Pump Station staff will maintain
the grounds there, and the current mowing contractor will maintain the
landscaping around city hall and the median. There was discussion clarifying
where the funds are coming from for these projects. There are existing funds
from the ground storage tank project of $45,000.00 that will be used, and the
remainder comes from the Beautification Fund.
Motion to approve awarding the bid for this project to Ortiz Landscape and

at $9,483 for city hall and median improvements, and three at $14,000 for
